Donald Trump will not be attending this year's White House Correspondents' Association dinner, because he is a big babyhe is brittle and insecurehe throws a tantrum when he is faced with any opinion that isn't sycophantic asskissinghe thinks the press will be unfair to him:

Trump attended the annual dinner in 2011, only to have President Obama poke fun at him repeatedly in his comedy routine. The resulting press coverage did not sit well with the GOP front-runner.

"I was asked by every single group of media available to mankind [to attend this year]. But I've decided not to go. Do you know why? I would have a good time and the press would say I look like I wasn't having a good time."

"I had a great time. I was very honored by all of the attention. The president told joke after joke and it was good. They were all very nice and delivered nicely and I had a great time and told the press. For four years, I've read what a miserable time I had."

He added, "The press is dishonest. If the press would be honest, I'd go because I'd have a good time. ... But no matter how good a time I had, the press would say, 'Donald Trump was miserable.' What would I need that for?"

Oh. Okay. Well, the president can definitely just refuse to deal with anything where the press might not give her or him perfectly fair coverage, so vote for this guy. He seems well-prepared for the rigors and realities of the presidency.
